This is part of a series on Roman Catholicism and the eucharist. See this index. I’ve been reading the recent writings of Bruce Charlton, where he appears to assert—in his recent post “If I do it, then it can’t be bad…” (The example of “AI”)“—that AI is inherently evil and …

Former reader and commenter Sharkly hss claimed many times that the image of God came only to men, that is, “biological males” and not “mankind.” A lot of discussion ensued, but I have never taken a chance to summarize the many articles and comments that came out of that discussion. …

Sharkly recently left a comment where he promoted his skills at interpreting the original biblical language. And, what do you know, he’s following through on his promise! Look at that, his own translation! It is curious that Sharkly is citing Epiphanius, who believed that all of humanity—both men and women—were …

I’ve been on a tear this year. More than 40% of my blog articles were written in 2024. It may seem like what I write about is somewhat random, but there has actually been a lot of thematic consistency. Before 2024, I interacted a lot with the Sigma Frame blog. …

A click-bait headline, brought to you by a former reader: My point isn’t that women are tools, but that everything in society from the goods we buy to the relationships we enter has been cheapened. So much is disposable. But, you know what? In many ways, for all our complaining …

See this index. A few months ago in “Habitually Being Wrong” I noted that many men often make a habit of saying objectively false statements that could have been invalidated by a simple Google search. Sharkly argued that only men—and not women—were made in the image of God. He wrote: …

One of the problems with the patriarchal manosphere is that it often cannot handle figures of speech. This is similar to how Roman Catholics can’t understand how Jesus could have been speaking metaphorically regarding the bread and wine and his flesh and blood. There is a certain kind of person …

I sometimes read James Attebury’s blog. I find his ideas very interesting. However, since he heavily curates/censors comments to his blog, it’s difficult to engage with his work in a meaningful way. So I’ll comment here where nobody can censor comments that he doesn’t approve of. Today we’ll be discussing …

This blog has mostly been on break during the November/December holiday season. I’ve been working on other projects. This is a bookcase that I just finished making. It is made from rustic cherry. Here are a few more photos that I took during the construction: Have a good holiday season!
